SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    GSA has various mission responsibilities related to the acquisition 
and provision of the Federal Acquisition Service's (FAS's) Stock, 
Special Order, and Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Programs. These 
mission responsibilities generate requirements that are realized 
through the solicitation and award of various types of FAS contracts. 
Individual solicitations and resulting contracts may impose unique 
information collection and reporting requirements on contractors, not 
required by regulation, but necessary to evaluate particular program 
accomplishments and measure success in meeting program objectives.

[[Page 39024]]

    As such, the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation 
(GSAR) 516.506, Solicitation provision and clauses, specifically 
directs contracting officers to insert 552.216-72, Placement of Orders, 
and 552.216-73, Ordering Information, when the contract authorizes FAS 
and other activities to issue delivery or task orders. These clauses 
include information reporting requirements for Offerors to receive 
electronic orders through computer-to-computer Electronic Data 
Interchange (EDI).

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 18,590.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 18,590.
    Hours Per Response: .25.
    Total Burden Hours: 4,648.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary and whether it will have 
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; and ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the Regulatory Secretariat 
Division by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ffb8acbead9a98ac9a9cbf988c9ed1989089"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="25627664774042764046654256440b424a53">[email protected]</span></a>. Please
